Murder accused still in jail, Appeal Court extends stay of judge’s order
Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) Roger Gaspard -
The Appeal Court sat on a public holiday to consider an appeal notice filed by the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) Roger Gaspard SC to prevent the release of a prisoner charged with murder.
The court on Monday, Emancipation Day, during an urgent hearing, extended a stay of execution order considering the appeal lodged which challenges a judge’s decision to quash the indictment against the prisoner, Kevon Nurse, also called Kevon Benoit.
Justice Eleanor Donaldson-Honeywell quashed the indictment on July 5 on the grounds of delay. Nurse has spent two decades in prison for the murder of his uncle Lester Ash on Christmas Day 2000 at Success in Laventille.
